Very charming film from some young filmmakers who clearly enjoyed making it.
That opening shot of the asteroid in space crashing into the pile of leaves might be my favourite visual gag of the competition.
The invisibility effect also worked super well!
Things you got right: A clear grasp on storytelling and some very good comedic sensibilities.
Things to work on for next time: Get your technical side up to scratch - better audio, better camera work!
I do love a good SIMPSONS reference, and a giant asteroid hurtling towards earth only to end up being a tiny rock was a great start to this film, as three gal pals who have passionate opinions about pavlova get more than they bargained for as an alien object grants alien powers, like invisibility!
Really nice ensemble performance by the women in this film, and your invisibility effect was really really well done!
Sinister finale, although loved the natural main ending to the film which presented the classic trope of love conquers all so so well.
Technically one thing I'd recommend for improving would be a minor framing thing, which is trying not to shoot dialogue from behind actors which happened a couple of times. It can work as reactive dialogue but here seemed to be by accident. And just on audio if any lines do come through as quiet from your field sound it's all good to use ADR to dub in louder vocals.
I did really appreciate you going outside for your shoot though and making use of the lovely botanic gardens.
Story: 3/5
Technical: 2/5
Elements: 3/5
Overall: 2.5/5
